the hov lane. you can see traffic is very heavy. it's always heavy around this time. make sure you stay to the right to get by that. and then on i-17 i do want to correct myself. i think i said i-17 southbound. looks like this is in the northbound direction. all lanes are clear at this point. i-17 northbound has been slow for about a mile approaching that and just remember a heads up we do have a our crew is on the scene. we'll try to get you some more details but it may be an area you want to avoid. next on abc15 morning think before you post. two mesa teens getting advice from police after their halloween pumpkin offends their classmates. >> plus immigrants here in the valley unsure of what the future might hold. how they're planning to protect families under the new president.
